The improved double three-way catalyst aging stability

The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising two layers on an inert catalyst carrier, wherein a layer A lying directly on the catalyst carrier contains at least one platinum group metal and one cerium/zirconium/SE mixed oxide, and a layer B, applied on layer A and in direct contact with the flow of exhaust gas, contains at least one platinum group metal and a cerium/zirconium/SE mixed oxide, wherein SE stands for a rare earth metal other than from cerium, characterized in that the fraction of SE oxide in the cerium/zirconium/SE mixed oxide of layer A is less than the fraction of SE oxide in the cerium/zirconium/SE mixed oxide of layer B.
